What’s your income / net worth?

[dad]

i do okay. i don't own a lake house or anything, but i have a good life.

Our painter power washed our house here, and he broke a seal to one of the windows on our patio doors. Our net worth is about to drop.

have you considered murdering him?

I did, but he’s mid-job.

Patio doors are so f*cking expensive. We need to replace like five more in our condo, and we’re dreading it. I almost rather sell.

Burn the whole house down but make it look like an accident and then take a bath in all that sweet sweet insurance money

or let the painter finish the job, murder him, and bathe in his blood, and soak up that sweet savings.

I don't know the answer so I can't vote. I need to know everyone's family income and net worth to know where I stand.

Income and net worth are not remotely the same thing. Pick one and stick with it. Then clarify if we’re including spouses’ incomes/net worths as well.

Figure out how to phrase the question before trying to obtain data. JFC.

It’s the respondent’s job to pick one and vote accordingly.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

This has nothing to do with sound; it's about income.

[daft twat]

Our mortgage is paid off, but we have very little in savings, two old cars, and kids who will be post high school in 3 and 6 years. We live pretty comfortably, but I fret about money quite a lot. It’s crazy how often there are non-regular bills from $200 to $600. Every time I think we can put some away, semi-annual guitar lesson fees are due, an air conditioner capacitor needs to be replaced, or my wife hits a pothole after a Minnesota winter and we need 4 new tires. And to be fair, we prioritize vacationing regularly. I don’t want to wait until I’m old to do all my traveling.

[dad]

why do we even care about income/net worth? money is a tool.

none of this matters.

How many tools do you have, dad?

That only adds up to 85%

Yes... 85% of RMers completed the census

I didnt actually count

we could simplify this to "how much money does your household spend on average per month?"
